Fantastic little cafe with big flavours and lots of style. Great to see top quality cafe food and drink coming to Saltaire and not just Leeds city centre! Has a really lovely shop with food and drink and clothes and holds various events that sound interesting too.

Great place to hang out. Amazing coffee, cake and pastries. Sandwich bar is already legendary! It's the talk of Saltaire! Also sells vinyls, food, clothing, toys, stationery, plants and furniture! Amazing gem.

Don't be fooled by the 'Village General Store' sign, this place is Silver's Sliced: the sister venue to the very popular Silver's Deli (Bramley). It is 100% worth going to and I'll likely be back myself. Pleasant, calm, warm atmosphere. Friendly and helpful staff. Plus the tastiest salt beef sandwich! They also do alot of other options which all look equally delicious.

Have been coming here all week to study in and love it (there’s plugs and plants!). The baristas are super nice and the coffee is lovely. It’s also good to have a look around. Nice vibes, would recommend.
